About this blog

This blog is my attempt at chronicling and organizing various parts of my life. You may even learn a bit if you read it. Then again you may not. I write this blog to exercise my creativity, teach a reader a trick or two, and to help myself and possibly others get a little bit more out of life. Who knows, I may even "find myself" along the way.
